I promise Madison, WI is colder than Grand Rapids, MI. I'm not used to feeling so cold that it hurts.

Anyway besides, being cold Madison is green and great. I miss the community in Grand Rapids a lot. In GR, I couldn't go 2 blocks without seeing a familiar face. Here, I trip over armies of hundreds of faceless students.

I've enjoyed actually having time for myself and to do the creative things that I didn't have enough time for in GR. I miss knowing lots of creative people who lived around the corner... but i've been finding other inspiration on a few websites:StitchCoachopen source sewingsewing newsletter
we also have a fabulous fabric store a few blocks away
